Did anybody have problems with optional Eggfinder GPS module in the Blackaero case? If I lay out boards on the table next to the window, no problems getting GPS fix, generally under a minute or so with limited view of the sky. But once I put everything in the case, it fails to get fix even after 5-10 minutes outside under unobstructed skies.
When assembling, I made sure no wires or cables run over the GPS chip (power, button, BT module and GPS module; all wires and cables are clear from it).
I suspect it's because, once in a case, its view of the sky is shielded by the main board (in Blackaero case it ends up right under it). But on the other hand, this is extremely popular case, and if that's the real problem, there's no way I'd be the first to hit it and/or ask about it.
Or maybe... did the main board changed recently in a way that would interfere with GPS chip if it ends up somewhere under lower left quarter of the main board within the case (my main board is revision B2, if it matters).
